In the Garden

I had a good time taking photographs of some of the flowers in my garden and my neighbor’s garden this week. Today I was able to get the lawn mowed which is always a good work out.

Here’s a garden poem. I have more than one but this speaks to the day:

SUPERCAT AND LAWNMOWERGIRL

Today lawnmower girl is cutting wide swathesin the too tall grass.Pushing the old snapperback and forth, around the house.Sephora, my cat, like a small black racing unitrunning around me, comes to a sudden stop,then off again. Pounding across our neighbor’s front porchdown the steps and out of sight.

Lawnmower girl, kneeling, pulls out monster dandelions.Maggiedog nearby in the dog run is barkingwatching supercat pounce on me sashayaround my hands, batting at the weedsrunning up the tree, then away again full tilt.Supercat and lawnmower girl-Maggiedog, barking, barking announcing the antics.
